After too many years not riding, sold bikes (CT-70, XR-125, YZ 450, VFR) got married and traveled and really didn't miss the bikes well VFR I really missed. Anyhow have kids, neighbor gets a used VTX ... more

a feww years back and well the bug bit me again. A couple buddies asked about riding and want to take the safety course at the local Community College but were "afraid" as they had never ridden before. Had an blast and yes it all comes back even after roughly 15 years. About 2 years ago I bought this VTX 1300, really had my eye on the Yamaha Roadliner but when I went to test drive it..it wasn't comfortable. I have made some mods to it replaced the stock exhaust with HK 3" and dude there awesome...great sound, obnoxious if you want them to be, rear license plate w/ integrated LED turn signals, also added the "run-turn-brake" module ( a must as the profile on the VTX is very small (actually wife insisted, "I can't see you at night"), finally kept the stock front turn signals but replaced the lenses which now matches the back less the LED's. Next up I found a set of forward peg mounts for a bargin but have yet to decide on the peg style. My problem is that once I add these I will have to replace all of them so that they all match. Want to add saddle bags but have again not found what appeals to my eye yet, finally would love to get the Hondaline windshield but can't bring myself to part with the 4-6 hundred everyone wants for it yet.Everyone ride safe, Gunny
